Europeans decided to import African slaves as opposed to slaves from other countries, because
1) they were immune to the same diseases that were killing off so many Native Americans, 2) they were strong 3) parts of Africa already had a history of slavery, so it was easy to convince communities to turn in their enemies for money.

The first African slaves used by Europeans were used by the Portuguese, on the island of Sao Tome, to grow sugarcane.

However, long before Europeans used African slaves, the Africans had slaves who were African!
